This week I've decided to take a different approach and write about a new DJ, Frédérick "Fred" Falke. He is a French based house producer and DJ of German origin.
Fred Falke was a funk bass player, but after a coincidental meeting with Alex Braxe they decided to collaborate as a dance music producing duo. In the heydays of french house, which includes pioneers like Daft Punk and Cassius, they released several singles (underground but highly appreciated) on the French Roulé and Vulture Music labels. The tunes they made, with which Fred became famous, were released in 2005 on The Upper Cut.
Fred Falke is now an in-demand remixer in his own right and has produced remixes for a number of mainstream rock and electronic artists. Falke has reworked songs from artists as diverse as Little Boots, Gossip, U2, Annie, Grizzly Bear, Uffie, Ladyhawke, Florrie, Lykke Li, and La Roux, among many others.In 2006 Fred Falke went solo and released Omega Man, and a 12-inch of the same name, on the Parisian label, Work It Baby. He has made several remixes, including some for Gossip, Ladyhawke, Robbie Williams, Burns, Kish Mauve, Mini Viva, The Whitest Boy Alive, Lykke Li, U2, Miami Horror, Annie, Hot Chip, Ke$ha. In September 2009, he released a new 12-inch, including Chicago and Back To Stay.
On a personal note, I' really enjoy Fred Falkes DJ style; he is crisp clean ethereal and romantic - all the while keeping you dancing.
So please enjoy my two favorite remixes of Fred Falkes': "When I look into your eyes" and "Automatic".
See you next week for my new music obsession.
